title: [Various possibilities for taking advantage of the Chinese flap in reconstruction of post-traumatic soft tissue defects in the upper extremity].
abstract: A forearm flap based on radial artery (Chinese Flap) is one of the most often used flaps in reconstruction of posttraumatic tissue defects within upper extremity. It may be used as free flap or pediculated one. Long vascular pedicle allows easy transposition of the flap within upper extremity. Microsurgical techniques do not have to be employed. Flap anatomy enables one stage reconstruction of majority of posttraumatic defects both during acute or planned operations. The material includes 10 patients. Satisfactory functional results have been achieved in all cases.
